They didn't send me 30. They sent me 12. The 30 was marked out and their was an envelope for each inside with the job number and number of cards in it written on it in the same hand writing as what was used to mark the number of cards out.@SunnyDays2 wrote:
I don't know the whole story but when you agree to accept a shop with 30 gift cards (valued at $300) assuming, if they were worth $10 each, it is your responsibility to check the tracking number like a hawk! You said you didn't bother..... The tracking is to ensure you received them. If you don't put forth that effort, they could reasonably assume something happened to the cards and in the end, you could liable if you did not take great care to find out where they were.
The gift cards are just like the cell phone shops. (the one where you try to trade in XX amount of phones and see if the employee follows the guidelines/ethics) You are responsible for those cards.
You do realize that any fees you have earned will be blocked until you locate all the cards? Just like my fees are on hold until I have returned all the cell phones.
You said the numbers were crossed out but in the end, it was 30 cards they sent for x amount of shops. Do you have all 30 cards? I did this assignment and I made sure I kept an eye from beginning to end because ultimately I could be held responsible for whatever happened to those cards.
The vest is another matter. That is not the most valuable thing in this story.
If they marked it out from 30 to 12, then I can assume they know they only sent 12 cards? Either way, photograph all the invoices, cards, emails, corrections and notations. Also once again let them know (again) you did not get the hat and vest.@mikehoughton2010 wrote:

When it comes to something like this, they usually send a formal letter saying they have sent x amount of cards and you are liable to protect the cards, as they are like cash. The fact that nobody told you how many cards you would be receiving, I would refuse the assignment and refuse the shipment, since it was either tampered with or internally changed. Either way, you might take the fall the for this. Keep ALL correspondences for this shop. It seems like a big mess. Not sure how it will be resolved. Let us know what you find out.@mikehoughton2010 wrote:
I've tried repeatedly to get ahold of the scheduler. I was never told how many cards there were for the shop. I didn't get the tracking until Wednesday Night....they day they shipped them. They told me they shipped them last week but the online tracking and envelope say differently. Each of the spots I took had an envelope inside with the number of cards inside of it marked on the outside of the envelope. As well as the job number. The hand writing matches up so I don't think anyone messed with them before they were delivered today, but I'm worried about some processing error on their end.
In past years, you had to stay onsite for an hour whether or not you have a winner. Did they change that hour requirement for this year?@Flash wrote:
So you have 12 cards total for 7 locations? That isn't even 2 cards for each location. Your on-site visit time sure won't be long!
Looking back on it, I think they sent me 20 cards and hoped I would spot 20 stickers! (wishful thinking) I did maybe 7 of these shops and some stations, nobody had the sticker and one station 3 customers had the sticker. I remember the faces of those who won and I had to snap their picture, not sure if you take their pics or not? I liked it except the dang heat, so I would do them in the morning.@Sybil2 wrote:

I didn't get a hat or vest. They assumed i had these from a much earlier shop. I mailed those back with tracking... -_- and the second set I didn't get return envelop so I was out $6 for shipping. Eh. You gotta be careful. They also specify in my shops that you must wear tan or khaki pants with a white t-shirt...

Thanks for the positive contribution... I definitely appreciate the snark. Ive some people say the got answers to the questions and others say they didnt...maybe next time respond with less rudeness?

Cheap work? It pays 40 dollars for an hour. Explain the common sense problem. I read multiple threads about this company with mixed reviews. I sought advice on what to do, not an attitude from some troll. I dont care if you are new or not, I dont care that I have only done this a week, I know enough about life to know when someone can word a response with something useful and without rudeness.@SoCalMama wrote:

OK. Good to know. I have an attitude problem.
You have a common sense problem. Why would you take cheap work like that from a company that is unresponsive? I was trying to give you information that you clearly don't have. I'm not new.
I know you are new to MS'ing and I know you are frustrated with this project but "threatening" a scheduler is not professional and it could definitely affect your future with this MSC. And if this scheduler is an independent contractor, she could work for other MSCs which could affect future jobs with other companies. Something to think about.@mikehoughton2010 wrote:
I also told her if I dont receive some honest answers on these questions and quickly, I will just send the stuff back and cancel my shops... its not worth the hassle.
